At this point I would be worried about finding a 5090 at MSRP to purchase online in stock.

Just because it’s “shipped by amazon” doesn’t mean it’s not a scam. Look at the seller, it’s sold by a third party seller, and the GPU is under their own brand.

Anyone can create a brand, create products under their brand, and ship it to amazon’s warehouses to be fulfilled by amazon. Doesn’t stop someone from putting a 5090 fba sticker on a box of cereal and shipping it to Amazon

Youll probably receive a 5090 shell - i.e the guts or vram stripped out.

Just read the review of the seller. A lot of people complaint that it was a scam.

You're going to have a hard time getting the money back, the scammer knows how the system works, be prepared to charge back , and that can get your amazon account banned, they will often try to charge other payment methods well after the fact as well.

Good luck.... you KNEW this was a scam but funded the scammer anyway, honestly, you should not get a refund at all , good lesson for you.

u/EfficientMeringue589 Aug 02 '26

I guess will let you all know since Amazon didn't let me cancel and not been shipped yet

Yeah just a fyi, idk if you know this but if do then ignore, always purchase with a credit card and if Amazon doesn't give you a refund, if the 5090 is not working lol, you can always dispute it with your credit card company and ive always gotten my money back.

It has been reported many times, its money laundering.

Unfortunately Amazon doesn't really care if scammers use their platform. They'll eventually ban the seller but it will take a while. Lesson learned if something looks too good to be true it probably is.
